Much like when you take an image capture, Snagit gives you the option to record the entire screen, a specific region or window, or at standard video dimensions. Once you get the hang of taking video captures, you can use Snagit videos to: Walk someone through a process or issue. Record a demonstration or how-to video. Give audio and visual feedback. Record a small portion of a video to playback in a presentation. In the newly released Snagit 12.0, we've changed up the way you take video captures to hopefully improve the process. To see what's changed, check out the full tutorial. View the Tutorial » Have a tutorial idea? Let us know! Snagit Mac Tutorial: Taking Your First Image Capture Along with all the other fantastic new features in the recent release of Snagit on Mac 3.0, the capture window has gotten a facelift! If you're a Jing fan, you might recognize the new workflow: Instead of first choosing which type of capture you'd like (image or video, for example) and then choosing the dimensions with the cross hairs, we've flipped it around. Now you can pick the capture area and make adjustments as necessary before you take your snags. We hope it helps you get the capture you wanted on your first try, so you can get more done in less time! To see what else you can do with image captures in Snagit, check out the full tutorial.
